It doesn’t matter what the situation. People who oppose him will oppose anything he does. I’m almost certain those folks would rail on him for using Kleenex instead of Puffs, Charmin instead of Angel Soft, or Bounty instead of Scott’s.

That’s how ridiculous it is … at times.

I’ll be the first to tell you he needs to stay off Twitter. The guy cannot help but put his foot in his mouth – well, maybe thumbs works better in this case if he’s using a smart phone.

The dude can’t even visit countries in the correct order, at least that was U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s criticism when the president visited the Middle East, starting with Saudi Arabia.

“It wasn’t even alphabetical,” the California politician said during her criticism of the president’s first overseas tour. “I mean, what, Saudi Arabia?”

I suppose she doesn’t believe Saudi Arabia is an important player in the Middle East and it would do the U.S. well by repairing that relationship.

I’ve heard people complain that a majority of the 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, so we should not cohort with terrorists. That’s where I get confused a bit because those same folks are also the ones who say we should open our borders to Syrian refugees who couldn’t possibly be terrorists and we’d be heartless not to do so.

It’s all agenda driven.

Going back to Pelosi’s comments of visiting country’s in alphabetical order – and this goes back to perspective, too – it appears that President Barack Obama also was not presidential as his first venture beyond the border after taking office in 2009, in order, was to Canada, the UK, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Iraq, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, and, lo and behold, Saudi Arabia.

What a jacked-up alphabetical methodology. If Obama or Trump had done it the Pelosi way, both would have gone, in this order, to Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria and Azerbaijan.

Afghanistan, Australia and Argentina are the only countries on that list Obama had visited. Poor Andorra. Always a bridesmaid, never the bride.

But, again, it all goes back to perspective. I’m pretty confident that Pelosi didn’t criticize Obama for his selection of countries to visit or in which order he would.

I honestly don’t care which country any of them go to first, but it does make sense to make the Middle East the region to visit first. Perhaps I’m in the minority there.

The political divide in this country will not get better until Trump quits saying Crooked Hillary or Lyin’ Ted or Little Marco, but that’s not likely to happen. The political divide won’t get better so long as politicians in Washington, D.C., focus on Trump’s every move instead of legislation to move the country forward. It’s sickening that party politics wins out over you and me, every time.

The few good politicians in Washington are getting sick of it, too, bowing out instead of fighting the good fight.

Even the Texas Legislature is getting into the fray with their raucous conclusion on Monday and infighting between chamber leaders. Politics used to be fun to follow; now it’s embarrassing. Not because of one guy or one party. They’re all a mess.

But, it’s the system we have, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world, even in alphabetical order.
